There were 9 this afternoon in my bulk mail folder. I've been deleting them, but now I'm wondering...if I do this, do they get reported by spam?

My personal addresses are being used to send their propoganda. Vicki- What you are probably seeing is the fallout from this new version of the Sober worm. The worm infected computers and the infected computers are being used by the worm as zombie machines to send out tons of right-wing German spam/propaganda. Like most other worms, this one is using addresses it finds on the infected computers and forging the sender addresses--which could be yours. When the spam gets intercepted and returned by ISPs on the receiving end or because the addresses it is sent to are invalid and the spam bounces--it comes to you as the forged sender. This should die down as the infected computers are found and the worm cleaned from the machines--but it sure is a nuisance in the meantime. Also, ISPs are starting to add this garbage to their filters which should be helping in the future.
